Any insights into whether or not the next version of Windows will still run 32-bit applications?

Yes there will be support for 32 bit versions of apps. The Windows execution environment is not changing. Nor has there even been an announcement of Windows 12 really and really what will be Windows 12 is just more Windows 10 with branding.

Heck, even Windows 11 on ARM64 can run FoxPro application (in automatic emulation) just fine and fast actually.

I don't see that going away in our lifetimes unless Microsoft completely rebuilds Windows on a completely different framework/runtime. I don't see any signs of that.
